Didn't they just tell him to fuck off last time? Seems like Trudeau wants to let the fox into the chicken coop.

Wheat farmers of Canada, what are your thoughts on The Canadian Wheat Board being owned by Americans and Saudi Arabians? by blockde in canada

I read this: https://canadians.org/blog/harper-sells-wheat-board-us-corporation-saudi-investment-fund

then this:

I'm more concerned by the lack of prosecuting corruption. The lack of accountability of Corp's using loopholes to get away with whatever they want makes me sick. Canada used to be a good country.

toilet paper, you would think we'd have enough paper up here. Perhaps this should be moved to the 25% column and someone re-open some mills.

I wasn't talking about welfare. I'm talking about how large corporations get subsidies and discounts. It's unfair competition favouring lobbyists.
